help please

I just got a welder at a garage sale for 45 dollars I was trying to find an operators manual or anything about it on the web but I cant find anything... serial number A76020465, stock 1353-0217, Airco, 230 amp msm stinger lll ac welding machine

Don't really need an operators manual, just plug it into a 230 plug, get yourself some AC stick rods, some weld cable. and weld away. The turn style on top sets your heat, and the high low options are for rod size. It's not a Miller, by the way.

Are you sure it's not a Miller? I had a 1970 vintage Airco that was Miller.

ETA, I see the difference now. Mine was pre-Stinger II which IIRC was till made by Miller.
